The Iliad by Homer
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Homer's epic poem of gods and warriors, with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
High on Mount Olympus, the gods look down on the world of men, to the city of Troy where a bitter and bloody war has dragged into its tenth year, and a quarrel rages between a legendary warrior and his commander. Greek ships decay, men languish, exhausted, and behind the walls of Troy a desperate people await the next turn of fate. This is the Iliad: an ancient story whose magnetic characters and moving speeches have an enduring power.

Homer was traditionally considered to be an eighth century BC poet responsible for composing the two
great Ancient Greek epics, The Iliad and The Odyssey. No information about Homer has survived and today there are many varied theories about the authorship of these two poems.
